Manifesto

We believe in the unifying power of culture in a world where borders have lost their meaning and dialogue is the most powerful capital. We witness how cultural expressions, art, and creative ideas are the most valuable diplomatic tools shaping the future of international relations.
The Diplomatic Forum for Cultural Expressions and Creative Industries (CCIF) was born from this belief. Our aim is to create a platform for dialogue that is not just spoken but also heard; not just shown but also felt. By bringing creative minds and strategic decision-makers to the same table, we aim to establish both economic partnerships and lasting cultural bridges.

Because we know that a designer’s line, a director’s vision, or a programmer’s code already transcends borders within the context of the creative economy. This natural flow nurtures trade. Our goal is to transform this rich diversity of cultural expressions into a force that brings dynamism to the global creative industries ecosystem, thereby fostering trade and strengthening the bonds between societies.
The creative economy is a new, placeless Silk Road whose route encompasses the diversity of the entire world.

This Forum exists to be a crossroads on this new Silk Road and to ensure that these messages resonate on the global stage. We are here to build a shared future with the transformative power of creativity.
